A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs that often taper to fine points. The letterforms show a clear calligraphic influence: diagonally stressed curves, angled entry/exit strokes, and flowing joins that keep the texture lively while remaining controlled. Proportions are moderately narrow with crisp terminals, open counters, and a steady rhythm that reads as traditional text-italic rather than decorative script. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and slanted stance, producing an elegant, continuous line in running text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book passages, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal stationery and invitation work, and can support premium branding when used for short phrases, headlines, or emphasized text.
The overall tone is classical and refined, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its crisp contrast and energetic italic slant convey sophistication and formality, while the calligraphic shaping adds warmth and a sense of tradition.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text italic that brings a classical serif voice to emphasis and display roles. Its combination of sharp serifs, controlled rhythm, and calligraphic stress suggests a focus on traditional readability with a distinctly elegant flavor.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pointed details, so it visually rewards larger sizes and good reproduction conditions. The italic construction is assertive, giving emphasis without feeling overly flamboyant.
